@LSXYZ9@FancyXBT@I648I It appears that collectors desiring to own#1 can mobilize a lot more money than fans. Seems to be the more stable investment strategy, fandom only peripherally plays into that.
@drumm_colin You might be interested in German legal Dogmatics which has been interpreted as a tradition that allows intellectuals to be able to participate in making law while increasing the scope of judges' lawmaking (thinking of Oliver Lepsius here, not sure ant English literature on it)
@1DimeOfficial L take, not supporting defunding of a police apparatus whose (at the very least recent) funding increases are very obviously incapable in increasing effectiveness of policing is nothing more than right wing / heterodoxy virtue signalling, even on your own assumptions.
@drumm_colin@kys_zionist Hm that may be so, but also would seem to give the rich a very strong interest in not letting regional wars ever escalate into something perceived to be a new world war (beyond any military considerations that might also play into this)
@drumm_colin@kys_zionist Do you not think there have been significant developments in terms of capital mobility and the role of financial markets that would change the equation? Plus the absence of a world war?
@drumm_colin@kys_zionist Sure, that depends on your understanding of potentially. At least rn I don't think it's that easy for many if not most states. And the question of how to build up a state's capacity to do this without inducing capital flight in advance doesn't seem easy.
@drumm_colin@kys_zionist Only the parts it can get its hands on and not without repercussions (if we're talking about the state taking drastic actions)
Wir sehen übrigens auch Zugewinne der AfD in Gemeinden mit höherem Anteil an Wählern mit Migrationshintergrund. Allerdings nicht in urbanen Zentren, sondern eher in Klein- & Mittelstädten mit vielen Russlanddeutschen und Spätaussiedlern (z. B. Bubsheim, Pforzheim, Lahr, Rastatt).
"surprising" and "disappointing" only if you are a moron
You have been warned an uprising wouldn't occur
You have been warned the regime would fight back and consolidate due to nationalism
You have been warned ethnic minorities aren't guns for hire
And you and the other ghouls wouldn't listen. Now all that remains is war crimes galore and the blood of the Iranian People on your hands.
In München werden Jugendliche auf dem Schulstreik (!) gegen die Wehrpflicht verhaftet wegen eines Plakats mit der Aufschrift: „Merz, stirb doch selbst an der Ostfront.“
Der Spruch mag hart sein - aber er bringt auf den Punkt, dass junge Menschen nicht in Kriegen verheizt werden wollen.
Sie dafür zu verhaften, ist schlicht autoritäres Gebaren.
The world, Europe, and Spain have faced this critical moment before. In 2003, a few irresponsible leaders dragged us into an illegal war in the Middle East that brought nothing but insecurity and pain.
Our response then must be our response now:
NO to violations of international law.
NO to the illusion that we can solve the world’s problems with bombs.
NO to repeating the mistakes of the past.
NO TO WAR.
